Since this is a single-producer product, are any of the hives used to pollenate GMO crops? Corn, sugar beets, zucchini, canola, etc.?

To 'Horrible Experience'. All bee products come with a warning you may have an allergic reaction to bee products. Wonder if that could be why you felt horrible? Hope you feel better now that you trashed and bad mouthed a legitimate Southern company because you 'feel' like its a backyard operation. Did you visit the farm? Did you research with state if they have a license? Did you contact the health department. Or did you just run your mouth because you want someone to sympathize with how horrible you feel? Hmm I'll do my own research.

Horrible experience. Made me sick. Naturally I then had to research this company. They are a home spun hillbilly operation out of Mississippi. Look them up on YouTube and and you can see Tim Durham the owner talking and also some extremely poorly made advertisements for their product. It's embarrassing and I would never put anything that came from these people into my body again! This is basically made in somebody's backyard.Also notice the item description pleading about how they are a "real company". It seems like a scam trying a little too hard to look legitimate. How about some videos of their facilities? Is it a barn? Horrible experience. Made me sick. Naturally I then had to research this company. They are a home spun hillbilly operation out of Mississippi.

Interesting, that would be a question for the manufacturer. Please edit or write again if you find out.

I'm not 100% sure, as it doesn't say.. I would contact E.S. Eco, but usually everything they use is organic... I still use it and I'm pretty extreme being 100% raw vegan. If you want real bee pollen granules, not cut with any filler, get Really Raw High Desert Bee pollen... It might be a little more $ but it's worth it.. I still use both though.. Hope this helps. take care

Yes. The info on the page says: "They are 100% Non-GMO, open-pollinated". They are very clear that these are natural organic seeds in their ad. The packaging is amazing and airtight enough to last almost forever. I haven't had a single seed that didn't grow so far. I see no mention of pesticide, just a lot of pride in being natural organic seeds.

Swanson Sunflower Lecithin Granules (Non-GMO) is what I purchased thru Amazon.com, and it is a very good product. Right now, I don't have the container so that I could give you more information, but I think if you want to order this product thru Amazon, you would be very pleased with the product and you would be able to contact Swanson directly if you have any other questions. Good luck to you - - I don't think you're going to be disappointed!! Judy Grimm

Yes. The USDA National Organic Standards prohibit the use of GMOs.http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/gmo-your-right-knowhttp://gmo-awareness.com/2011/05/05/is-organic-always-gmo-free/

Yes. Pkg says Organic Alfalfa-Sprouting. Genetically engineered wouldn't be organic. These seeds produce delicious sprouts. We'll buy them again.

I haven't tried this honey, and I buy organic, but an "organic" label on honey is silly to me. Honey bees can range miles and miles away from their hive, meaning that even if bee keepers are careful of their immediate surroundings, there's absolutely no way to guarantee that a bee hasn't taken nectar from treated crops, or GMO crops. Just something to think about before you spend more on "organic" honey :)

Hops flower extract, Passion Flower extract, Valerian root extract, magnesium stearate. Bee pollen

That's a good question but I don't have the answer, sorry :(I do know that we have bee hives on our property but haven't had any issues with the bees on the feeder :)

Because this is not Organic. Note the name of the producer is "Y.S. Organic Bee Farm". They do also sell the organic kind, just not this one. Quite misleading with the green label and all..

I don't really know. It works very well for the bread that I make and GMO is not something I considered. Organic is something I consider often but not always.

Yes Judy this product is non-GMO.This is what the label states on the back of the can: "this non-GMO beet-derived brewer's yeast tends to be less bitter tasting than grain derived brewer's yeast".

I had thought the same thing. I have since read that bees only travel so many miles from the hive. I assume that if everything is organic in this range, so would the honey.

Can honestly give you a firm no as an answer. There are no GMOs in this product

As answered by Yodel, the company would know best. It is, however, very likely NON-GMO. Why? Potential profit from the small volume of cranberry producers wouldn't warrant the expense of GMO research and creation. There was very little, if any, literature arriving with the product.

The only GMO dandelion at this time is for latex production not food. Given that it's and organic product there is only the possibility of cross contamination.
